The Let-Downs

They have honed their punk rock’n’roll chops in basements and dive bars in the HAMMER.
Forged in blast furnaces; battle tested in downtown’s gritty core and unrepentantly proud of their underdog status. Flickblade fast and just and lethal, they play tunes that are deeply personal yet universally recognized. These musical gems shimmer like diamonds in the slag heaps. The noise is tonic to those who harken back to the heydays of punk and straight-ahead rock. Like early Clash or SLF, yet quintessentially Hamilton. No B.S., no airs, no pretension. Just loud, proud, bloody but unbowed.
